Doctors advise against using InnoPran XL if you are allergic to any ingredient in it or if you have conditions like angina or heart diseases. In such a case, consulting the doctor would be given priority before indulging in the dosage. Also do not stop the dosage suddenly without consulting your medical practitioner as it may lead to certain adverse effects. The dosage has to be gradually decreased so that it may not have any side effects on you.

Discuss your past/current medical history in detail with your doctor before beginning treatment with any new medication. If you are using any herbal supplements or over the counter medication, including vitamin pills, then mention it to your doctor.

Your condition might be monitored or the dosage might be modified to suit you if you have conditions like kidney or liver problems, asthma, thyroid problems, heart troubles, skin conditions as well as mental disorders. In such an event you must consult your doctor with proper honesty so that proper dosages according to your condition can be prescribed.

InnoPran XL may increase the risk of getting dizziness or drowsiness. This risk greatly increases if you combine it with alcoholic beverages. So please avoid them while using InnoPran XL. Also, avoid undertaking any tasks which require mental alertness (driving, handling heavy machinery etc).

For diabetic patients, the dosage of InnoPran XL might decrease the blood sugar level. So you will have to be cautious while taking it. And if you feel drowsy, confused, weakness and irregular heart beats, contact your medical practitioner immediately.

Pregnancy Info

If you are a nursing mother and breast feed your baby, and then do not take the dosage as it is known to be found in the breast milk. This might affect the health of the baby as well. Seek consultation before taking any of the dosage under such conditions.
